Rodger P. Wilson, RPh, President

My formal education is pharmaceutical sciences but my career has been software development. After graduate school and over the past 25 years, I have lead several development projects creating, testing, deploying and supporting applications for the medical field that are installed on several continents. Today, I live in Northern Colorado and concentrate on iOS applications. As a former CIO, I have managed all phases of the development cycle.

iOS Development

Developed iOS software for the general public for sale in the Apple App Store. The apps have been voted Application of the Week. They feature the use of CoreData, gaming loops, REST interfaces to the APIs of multi-national companies, and sound/animation synchronization.

Program Management

I have managed all phases of the software lifecycle including project planning, design, engineering, testing, documentation, implementation and ongoing support. I have managed teams of several hundred across multiple geographic locations.

Most of my career was spent developing multi-tiered, medically-oriented systems intended for the pharmacy, laboratory or cardiology (telemetry). These systems were typically a GUI frontend, a business logic middle layer, and a relational database as the bottom tier.

My initial transition to mobile computing was through implementation of light-weight web applications but more recently have focused on iOS applications.
